And Speaking of Monster Songs...
The Alley Cats play "Night of the Living Dead" and "Escape From Planet Earth":
These guys were one of the lesser known bands associated with the Masque/Hollywood punk scene.
Kinda corny, but what can I say: I like their style.
Distant echoes of The Cramps and X I s'pose, but basically I'm thinkin' a b-movie/LA sleaze inflected version of The Wipers..?
That Randy Strodola sure looks like one ragin', weird dude. Both of these songs have the word "boulevard" in the first line. I can dig it.
Labels: LA, punk, The Alley Cats, videos
I also love the way they appear to be playing in front of a noticeboard. Great stuff.
